Srishti Pragat of Sky Social Rises to the Top of the VV Visionaries List of Global Women Leaders

Bhopal : Srishti Pragat of India has emerged as a bright star among the world’s most influential people. Her inspiring work at Sky Social has earned her a spot among the program’s prestigious top fifty women. Vital Voices and the Estée Lauder Emerging Leaders Fund have teamed together to host this distinguished event, which will bring together a diverse group of influential women who are all dedicated to making a good difference in the world.

Founded by global leaders such as Hillary Clinton, Vital Voices has a long history of supporting, growing, and connecting women leaders who are agents of change. Their unflinching backing has propelled many notable figures to the forefront, including Malala Yousafzai and other Nobel Peace Prize winners, human rights pioneers, and social entrepreneurs.

Women leaders from all walks of life and professional backgrounds who are committed to making a difference in their communities are honoured and given resources via the VV Visionaries programme. The goal of this revolutionary programme is to usher in a new era of progressive leadership that challenges traditional notions of who may and should hold leadership positions.

At Sky Social, Srishti Pragat has been at the forefront of groundbreaking work for gender parity and social fairness. She has a solid academic background in Development Studies from the prestigious SOAS University of London, where she focused on the study of gender and migration. Pragat’s devotion to community service and encouraging behavioural change demonstrates her passion for achieving gender equality in society.

When asked what she thought of being honoured by such a prominent worldwide group, Pragat said, “It is an immense honour to be recognised by an organisation like Vital Voices.” This is a fantastic chance to tell the world about our experiences and promote our work from India on a global stage. Through this programme, I am excited to learn, develop, and work with other great women leaders to increase our influence and broaden our reach.

Sky Social’s work spans diverse collaborations, including government departments, UNICEF, and Youth Ki Awaaz. Their efforts center around training communities, engaging stakeholders and strengthening capacities to dismantle patriarchal structures. Their collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism’s “Hunar Se Rozgar Tak” program has been particularly impactful, providing skill training to girls from tribal communities, thus enabling their economic independence.

Sky Social’s dedication to preventing gender-based violence and promoting gender mainstreaming has garnered significant accolades. They have been selected as a Youth Ki Awaaz Action Network Fellow and have received the prestigious Udita Award and the Strong Women Strong Society Award.

Pragat’s selection in the VV Visionaries program is a testament to her formidable leadership and commitment to societal change. It serves as a milestone not just for her but also for Sky Social, adding to their collective achievements and shining a light on their path towards creating a more equal and just society.
